Long Way To The Light Chords by Mike Scott

[E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] I'm _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ sitting _ [A] _ _
in [E] _ my bedroom [A] overlooking Fenton Bay, [E] Clooney Hill in the distance, [A] summer
on the way, _ [E] blue skies and sailing boats, [A] like a picture in a book.
_ [E] I can't believe I got here, [A] or how long it took.
_ [B] _ Living one step [A] at a time, _ putting one foot in front of the other, sure [E] feels right, _ _
[A] _ [B] _ _ healing
[A] on my mind.
_ _ Been a long way, been a long [E] way to the lake, _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] I made it to Manhattan, [A] built myself a nest,
[E] I meant to get right back to [A] doing exactly what I do best, [E] plugging in an electric [A] guitar,
leading a band, [E] well if you want to give God a lie, [A] _ tell him your plans.
[E] Summer in the city, _ [A] wilting in the heat, [E] buzzing up and down to Beresville, [A] and back to Hudson
Street, [E] I learned meditation, _ [A] and how to visualize, _ [E] just breathing, being [A] still, I never felt nor alive.
_ [B] _ Living one step [A] at a time, _ putting one foot in front of the other, it sure [E] feels right, _
[A] _ [B] _ _ healing [A] on my mind.
_ _ Been a long way, been a long [E] way to the lake, _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] I spent the fall in transit, [A] _ circling the
moon, [E] like a cat on a hot tin [A] roof, like a fiddle without a tune, _ [E] I found what I was
searching [A] for in Mrs.
Caddy's book, [E] I had to go there straight away, [A] have myself a look,
[E] I flew back to Scotland, _ [A] anticipation in my bones, [E] the old country welcoming [A] me like a
prodigal coming home, _ [E] I knelt and kissed the tarmac [A] in the wild Atlantic rain, _ [E] felt the
fiery gill and blood, [A] rising in my veins, [B] _ _ living one [A] step at a time, _ putting one foot
in front of the other, [E] sure feels right, _
[A] _ [B] _ _ healing [A] on my mind.
_ _ Been a long way, been a long [E] way to the lake, _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] I spent the night in Glasgow, [A] _ flew to Inverness,
[E] I found a place and at the [A] first, I was not impressed, [E] _ nobody said hello, [A] the faces left
me cold, [E] back then how was I to know, [A] all that would unfold, [E] I entered the sanctuary,
[A] heard the voice of a girl, [E] sending out a circle of light, [A] clear across the world, [E] I shuddered
in the power, [A] like a seedling in a storm, [E] I've been traveling to this [A] place, since the
moment I was born, [E] flew back to New York City, [A] singing the big city blues, [E] the sound of fend
horn [A] bass still clanging to my shoes, [E] tried to restart my life, [A] but the life I knew was gone,
[E] I had to let go everything, [A] but that's another song, [B] _ living one step [A] at a time, _
putting one foot in front of the other, it sure [E] feels right, _ [A] _
[B] _ _ healing [A] on my mind, _ _ _ been a long way,
been a long [E] way to the lake, _ _ [A] _ a long [E] way to the light, _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] so I'm sitting in my bedroom,
[A] _ overlooking fend horn bay, [E] Clooney Hill in the distance,
[A] _ summer on the way, [E] I'm watching the sailing [A] boats, bobbing to and fro,
[E] _ time to hit the road, [A] the only way I know, [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
[B] _ _ healing on [A] my mind, _ _ been a long way,
_ been a long way [E] to the lake. _ _ _ _ _ _
